Our History:

Faye's Laundry & Drycleaning has been a family run business since 1968. In September of that year, Russ and Faye Cummings bought the existing Norge Village Laundromat and Dry-cleaner in Layton Utah. The major draw for the business at that time were the do-it-yourself dry-cleaning machines that customers could load with up to 10 pounds of garments for a total cost of $3.00. For another 50 cents, the customer could rent the "Jiffy Steamer" to steam the wrinkles out of her garments. Fortunately, that was the era of 100% polyester double knit fashions!

Fashions changed and so did our methods of fabric care. We added professional dry-cleaning machines and presses, commercial washers and shirt equipment. We are currently investing in tensioning presses to keep up with the trend toward more wet cleaning of your fine fabrics. Advances in soap and sizing technology have made wet-cleaning not only better for the environment but also better for many delicate items.

As we upgraded our equipment mix we also improved our knowledge of fabric care.. We have passed the Drycleaning and Laundry Institute certification tests for dry cleaning fundamentals and environmental issues and most recently certified in wet-cleaning techniques. On going training and attention to details keeps us up-to-date on the best practices of fabric care and finishing. You can count on our staff of experienced and highly trained technicians to safely process everything from your most fashionable outfit to grandmother's wedding dress

Current owners, Cliff and Sharon Dutcher, are Faye's daughter and son-in-law. Faye still lives in the local area and is our greatest fan. Granddaughter Coral Petersen is our general manager and intends to carry our policy of unequaled quality and service into the 21st century. Our family wants to keep your family clean and fashionable for many years to come.

Environment:

Quality cleaners nationwide are committed to becoming more environmentally conscious and we at Faye's have good reason to be proud of our efforts to improve our environmental performance. Our improved technology, more efficient machines and safer handling practices are all aimed at reducing the environmental impact of cleaning solvents.

Our dry-cleaning machines continuously distill and filter the solvent, ensuring a fresh, sparkling solution for every cycle. Spent filters and still residue, composed mostly of soap, lint and dirt, is picked up and properly disposed of at a hazardous waste facility.

In addition, we are focusing on advances in wet cleaning. We are currently using a European formula that prevents color loss and shrinkage of fine fabrics and is safe for the environment as well. Our new tensioning presses and experienced press operators complete the wet cleaning process.

We also accept metal hangars and poly bags for recycling.
